Finally we
decided to use the t-shirt yarn and
our first experiment are these two baskets.

They are
not very large why the balls we use only are 100 gr. (1), but are ideal for use
in the bathroom, dressing table or putting pots with plants.

What has
most surprised us is how it spreads the work; in an hour you can more or less
have one finished.

Now we will
explain as we have done, even though we know that some of you already have made
a few.

We will
make 5 chains (2) and join them to
begin the round base. In the schema (3) you can see how to make a flat circle:
started with 1 chain + 8 treble crochet points and following
returns are double treble crochet point:
you have to do two double treble crochet
points in each lower point. With
3 laps we had enough to make the base (4). Depending on the size and the amount
of t-shirt yarn you have you can do
more laps; it has always respected the rule of doubling the point in top spin.

To make the
body of the basket continue weaving, but already not bend point (a point at each
lower point), and we do everything
in treble crochet point. As you go
doing laps you'll see how to make deeper (5). It's the technique of the
amigurumi.

We stop
when it ended the t-shirt yarn ball
and, as we didn't have enough to finish a lap, so we leave this space which
then gives it a modern air (6).

We enjoyed the
experience and we have repeated, but that we will show later.
